Bantry House Loggia
The Bantry House loggia – a gorgeous covered gallery commanding stunning views of the house’s gardens Bantry Bay – is the location for wonderful readings and conversations as part of the West Cork Literary Festival.
Bantry House on Ireland’s southwest coastline is one of the finest historic houses in Ireland and has been open to the public since 1946, the first to be so in the country and possibly also in the British Isles.
The house is still owned and lived in by the Shelswell-White family, direct descendants of Richard White (1st Earl of Bantry), and his family.
